The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

PS: Has this thread about run its course? Is everyone ready to settle in and leave the old site behind?

First off, apologies for the comment you had to edit. I actually didn't think it crossed the line too far. I guess there are still some grey areas in people's heads (like mine) between the old Open Forum and the Bar & Grill. You're the boss though, so that's that eh.

As for this thread running its course.....

If there is one thing common to the crew from Central, it's that they LOVE to dig up the past every once in a blue moon and toss it around and have a laugh or a bitchfest about it. Very much like most families do at a reunion. Always highly entertaining. Even if you only get half of it. To be honest, it's one of the things that made Central what it was (emphasis on the was), there was a certain comradere there that went beyond what message boards generally boast. At the risk of seeming to slight anyone that has been here for a while, I will say that no other forum that I have viewed has come close to displaying the same. There is a unique repitoire of inside jokes that people from there shared, I will admit that it declined sharply and became the rarity towards the end, I was fortunate enough to be slightly more than a casual observer and participant for a few years, but I'm sure you've already seen what I'm talking about just by reading a few of the interactions between some of these guys (and gal.....yes LB this nod's to you). If everyone had the cash, I'm pretty sure they would have an annual retreat or something, complete with beer garden and Topper supervised BBQ (you know one in which he would be teaching Arach how to actually cook).

So to be honest, I'm not sure it's safe to say that this thread has run its course yet. Maybe the thread. Not the subject or topic. It'll get alluded to for a long while, more and more sporadically, but for a long while.

Judging by the conversations here, and the back-and-forth between Doc and a few others like ODB and Rats.....I'd say the settling in question get's "yes" for an answer.

Heh, I could teach you how to drink beer (and show your girlfriend my amp without my nutsack shrivelling up )

I had actually suggested to Chris we have a concert or jam (considering all the musicians on here) to raise funds for the site but he said no

Come now BunBuns it's a little late in the game to play that queer card now isn't it?

I meant the word in its original sense, Doc, "in which the word was used to refer to heterosexual men's fear that others might think they are gay." In that light, it's interesting that you should take my clean and light-hearted cast list joke and immediately bring up sex scenes and such. I agree with Cornuck, there are children reading this, you might want to clean up your act.

(Never thought I'd live to see the day when GM responds to a post of mine with an honest compliment, and you're the one taking the conversation into the gutter. In a rather predictable and unimaginative way, at that. Has the Earth turned itself inside-out? )

Hey rats: I appreciate the question, and you do deserve a thoughtful answer. I'll give it in another thread, because this one is turning into a bit of a trainwreck...

Well the old site will always be a part of us, but I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say we'll adjust to to the rules here.

No doot aboot it.

I wouldn't want to see this thread locked if that's what you mean. I think there may be good cause to post in this thread from time to time over the summer. There remains a need to reminisce somewot methinks. I'd rather see it slowly work it's way down the line...

As the OP i say please feel free to delete any posts that cross the line from this point on!

Fellow ex-Centralites I implore you, let's walk the line buds!

I have been pushing for everyone to go to thesite and vote for the corner as best sports blog with little success. Kind of payback to brian for putting up with us..still a few days left. Find thread..click link...vote and report new stats.

For those who don't know what we're talking about.... well at our old site, sock accounts were perfectly legitimate (for example the owner/administrator was known to use various sock accounts just to stir things up - Trick/Tiger/RedLicorice/etc). So one summer out of sheer boredom we agreed to all use multiple "socks"!

GM is still traumatized to this very day.

Okay, which one of you will admit to being which poster(s)?!!

BE HONEST.

I had a character, which was pretty out of character for me. Any guesses?

Edit -- and I think that the fact that I had a sock that summer indicates just how great the of was that year
